As part of The Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles' year-long exploration of Macbeth, one of William Shakespeare's greatest plays, the Junction Theatre is producing a site-specific staging at the historic Lummis House. This Macbeth will be directed by Benjamin Pohlmeier, who has condensed the text to a running time of 90 minutes. It will feature the facade of the Lummis House to evoke a medieval Scottish Castle -- linking the cultural heritage of Los Angeles with the legacy of world theatre.

Macbeth will be presented for two weeks in September to students from middle schools and high schools in the adjoining areas, as well as to the general public. The performances of Macbeth will be offered free of charge to the students and schools involved.

The Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles enriches and nurtures personal growth, professional development and social change through engaging and accessible arts experiences inspired by Shakespeare’s plays and poetry, with a special focus on empowering underserved youth and veterans.
